WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Petite Cuvée Madame 2023 is produced using a short skin maceration process, typically lasting around two hours, to extract color and delicate aromas without significant tannin. Following maceration, the juice is fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. This technique is crucial for preserving the wine's fresh fruit profile and vibrant acidity. The wine is generally aged briefly in stainless steel before bottling, emphasizing its youthful character. This approach is designed to create an approachable and refreshing rosé.
